nolf2liberator Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The NOLF2 source code has been released under the GPLv2 by Touchdown Entertainment. Along with the game source code, you will find the engine source code, as well the tools behind it. It's great news for the entire NOLF2 modding community, since now we'll be able to keep the game alive! I have uploaded the package to free services since the Touchdown Entertainment website is down: http://www.multiupload.com/WBO4EQHRAE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Interesting news. Wonder if this means that it is considered "abandonware" as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kepler Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Does this mean we can now freely share the software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Does this mean we can now freely share the software? LOL that's the simple version of what I said (abandonware) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FortranDragon Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Interesting news. Wonder if this means that it is considered "abandonware" as well? No, it wouldn't be abandonware (which isn't a legal term). Assuming that the GPL release is true, this isn't any different from id releasing the Quake game *engines* as GPL. They still control the copyrighted Quake *games* (art assets, music, etc.). It would be good to have independent verification of the GPL release. Is there a link to a press release from the owners or other confirmation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found anything yet (independant) I'll post it if I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexa Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Wow! Free the Engine from the fixed master server/key check is what comes to my mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
